    This is a day hike along a section of the Continental Divide Trail. We will leave Los Alamos at 8 AM on Memorial Day (Monday May 26), drive past Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch to the Monastary road, and park at Skull Bridge. From there we will hike westward on the Continental Divide trail, under the cliffs of the Abiquiu red rock country. This will be an out and back hike, aiming at 6-8 miles total. If the weather gets too hot for this route, we will divert a day or two before to an alternative route at higher elevation, perhaps in the Jemez.

    This is a 70 mile backpack (ca. 12,000 ft elevation gain) on the CDT over the 4th of July weekend. We will either depart very early on Wed. morning, or leave Tuesday afternoon. It will take us about 5 hours to drive there and set up the car shuttle. Last year we went to Blue Lake and turned off there, but the access trail was in horrendous condition. This time, I want to take the easier route and hike all the way from 160. Expect ~15 mile days, to allow for a slightly shorter hiking day on Sunday, and early morning departures (not crazy early, around 7:30 am).

    This is a trip to Adak Island, in the Central Aleutians of the Aleutian Island Chain. I have chosen Adak for ease of access - you can fly there with Alaska Airlines. For reference, I paid ca. $1,500 for my roundtrip ticket from ABQ (August 9-20, 2025).

    This will be a 7-day backpacking trip in the Wind River Range, WY. The drive to the trailhead is ca. 12 hours (more including stops for gas and food), so will add 2 days to the total trip length. I am planning a 50-mile loop that is largely off-trail. We will revisit one of my favorite areas (the Cooks Lakes) and hit on a few spots that I missed last time (such as the Alpine Lakes). Mileage per day is planned to be moderate so there is time to enjoy the scenery, and to account for the fact that moving off-trail is significantly slower.

    We have returned from our last llama trip with packer BJ Orozco. Since there will not be a llama trip this fall, I have arranged to rent a very nice house in Hanksville, Utah (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/48361359), which will our base for a week of day hiking in a part of Utah that has escaped my attention for these many years. We have the house from Sunday October 5 to Sunday October 12, giving us 6 days for hiking.

    I would like to announce the seventeenth edition of our successful hike/explore/bike trips to Moab. We have been going almost every November since 2008, and every time has been a great success. The 2014 trip report can be found at http://lamountaineers.org/node/479#comment-57. Let me (Bill Priedhorsky) know if you would like to join the trip.
